Superb lunch with Derek and Jill, for which I was most grateful - then a rather slogging drive in small rain and on the motorways to North Wales, arriving almost too late to get in (but not quite). Quite the best shower of the trip so far, a huge wet-room with a stool to sit on and lots of space... Such an improvement on yesterday's grungy waterlogged cubicle...
Seriously hair-raising drive this morning, as the sat-knave decided that, in order to save me a few minutes, I really wanted to drive for 11 miles over the top of the Cumbrian Fells, with first-gear hills up, down, and sideways, and a road with about 6 inches of clearance each side and very occasional passing-places. I only got a couple of photographs, but I definitely got my money's-worth in scenery
I'm showered, clean, fed, and have an audio book on and am definitely for an early night...
